Insightful & Casual - Very interesting and detailed tour of the wine cellar, including the wine making process. Great selection of wines for tasting in a casual manner. The food provided for lunch was simple but delicious.

I wouldn't recommend it - The tasting was, in my opinion, short and rushed. I expected more attention in explaining the wine-making processes and the history of the culture linked to it. It was almost impossible to listen to the brief descriptions given by the guide, perhaps due to the terrible acoustics. Furthermore, between one tasting and another the glasses were never replaced, much less rinsed.

Wine great. Your Service terrible - The wine explanations by Nikolai was outstanding. He is very knowledgeable and personable wine tasting were a bit skimpy for what was paid in total you barely got a glass of wine Service by Viator. Was terrible. Asked for selections. And when sent in. Did not accommodate, when questioned there were only denials

Don’t waste your money - Tour guide Nicola could not have been more disinterested in leading the tour. There are many free wine tasting options in Montepulciano and you can have a fantastic lunch at most any restaurant with a full bottle of wine for much less than the cost of this tour. I don’t like giving negative reviews, but don’t waste your money on this tour.
